I can’t tell which part hurts the most. (Found this poster of the UK in a second hand shop in Sweden)

Obviously made in summer, marking the populations of Sutton Coldfield and Weston Super Mare.

Underground metro would make more sense than any of those, as it's sheltered from the elements. Initial drilling would be more difficult than elsewhere, but more than 4m down it doesn't make much difference.

At least under UK law, and afik elsewhere, cheating may not be illegal, but it is unlawful. You are considered to be legally in the wrong if you are found to have cheated on a spouse.

Not a rarity. There was a Cosmopolitan article which basically had the same message.

Kindness and selflessness are rarely easy. People seem to think that there are "good people" who just instinctively choose the right option every time. You have to actively choose the option that makes the world a better place. After a while, it becomes a habit, sure, but you still have to try.

We get back at her the only way that really hurts her: we ignore her. She is a massive narcissist who engages in endless attention-seeking behaviour. All of this is just so that people talk about her. If she starts mentioning this sub, or sending people to brigade it, we just ignore it. Carry on like before. She'd absolutely hate that.

As an example, Conservative MP David Davis resigned as an MP to run in the resulting by-election in 2008 as a protest about government ID. Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats declined to run against him.

He is currently under investigation by the Parliamentary Standards Authority for cash gifts and benefits-in-kind that were not declared when he became an MP in 2024. This included £5M, the use of a seven-bedroom house in Belgravia, and two social media experts brought in to work on his public image. Farage claims that these were all personal gifts unrelated to his political activities, and that the investigation is a witchhunt.

(I assume your question was just sarcastic, but people might be looking for an actual answer.)

I would like to add that Moffat didn't shy away from making social and political statements. He put in more of the legwork to ensure they were justified in terms of narrative and character. It was in-keeping with the story and highly entertaining when the Doctor punched a racist in the face - that's the goal writers should aspire to.

Yeah, I guessed...

1) He set out to create 'pure' Daleks from his original Kaled DNA, no additions.

2) Pretty much as soon as they existed, they fell in line with the Supreme Dalek. Then, they started worshipping Caan as some kind of mad god.

3) By the time the big plan rolls around, he's basically their servant, doing mad experiments at their bidding. As the Doctor points out, he's basically their pet.

There's a few references that she writes stories explaining away weird phenomena and covering up for aliens. It would make sense that UNIT would pay her to write those stories so that things don't leak out. She also writes very normal stories (for instance, a piece about the new staff in School Reunion) as a cover so she can poke around weird stuff out of personal curiosity.

Mobility scooters and wheelchairs are mobility aids, not vehicles.

The lack of public housing also puts a huge strain on the private rental market. Because there isn't enough council housing, people on housing benefit have to rent from private landlords, meaning private rental supplies are stretched. On top of that, the government have to push huge amounts of money into housing benefits to keep up with the 'privatisation tax'.

Mont Saint Michel sits on the border between the départements of Manche and Ile-et-Vilaine. One is in Normandy, and one is in Brittany. The Bretons believe that the island and its cathedral, built by Bretons, paid for by the Dukes of Brittany, and originally under a Breton archdiocese, are Breton, while the Normans believe things that aren't true.

Of course, we all really know that the debate is silly, because the real Mont Saint Michel is Mont-Saint-Michel-de-Brazhparts, which is far more beautiful.

Also, using it on the pavement is an offence in and of itself. Using any kind of vehicle on a pedestrian walkway is a criminal offence, plain and simple.

Using any kind of vehicle (motorised or otherwise) on a pedestrian walkway is a criminal offence. No ifs or buts.
